2 sharp turns with traffic islands into and out of the bus route! Certainly need to brake for them

The one off the bus route certainly, but the one onto the bus route you can coast into or a slight speed scrub (on the hoods/base bar) and get around just fine. I agree, it looks like you should have to slow right down but if you get the line right it's fine. 60 times around have given me some practice ...
